Recommendation ITU-T
X.1275 recognizes that radio frequency identification
(RFID) technology renders information pertaining specifically to the merchandise
worn or carried by individuals open to abuse even as it greatly facilitates
access to and distribution of such information for
useful purpose. The abuse can
manifest as tracking the location of the individual or invasion of his or her
privacy in another malfeasant manner. For this reason,
this Recommendation provides
guidelines regarding the RFID procedures that can be
used to enjoy the benefits of RFID while attempting to protect personally
identifiable information.
